About Us
In March 2001 I noticed that the Douay-Rheims
Bible hardcover version was out of print. I looked on the internet and
found several websites that contained this bible, but the format and
usability were poor. So I decided to create this website, because I
wanted to preserve this traditional work from becoming extinct.
I created this website in April 2001 and later abandoned
this project, because it turned out to be much larger than I anticipated.
In June of 2003, I found myself with a lot of extra time available and I
started again to re-create this website and got the first version up
and working pretty well. I even built a search capability for it,
using a software engineering approach. More refinements were necessary
however and the project dragged on for about one year working full time.
The next logical step for a website preserving tradition
in scripture, was to include the Latin Vulgate Bible and make it easy to
switch between the Douay-Rheims and Latin Vulgate. Then later, other
traditional Catholic information was added.
This website has no affiliation with any group, society or
the Catholic Church. This is my creation only. It does reflect my
beliefs and committment to pursuit of the truth. Truth is something that
seems to be disappearing in our modern world, which makes this kind of
website all the more important.
My mission is the publishing of materials which
will aid people who are searching for the truth. Truth is a misunderstood
concept in our modern world. Truth is not dependent on emotions and truth
is not relative. Truth is what it is, regardless of one's prior beliefs
or desires. Many people are so blinded by what they want to believe, that
they cannot see the truth when it is right in front of them, logical and
obvious.
Many people will not be persuaded to give up their false beliefs,
with logical arguments, proofs and hard facts. My goal is not to argue or
debate, but to present materials and answer questions as best I can.
Enlightenment must come from God. Pray for enlightenment.
